This is an adventure game based on the Where the Wild Things Are movie and classic children's book. Players guide the central character, Max, across a vast island, complete quests for a group of monsters (i.e., the "Wild Things"), and battle strange insects and shadow creatures along the way. Max uses a scepter to break obstacles and attack the fantastical enemies (e.g., fireflies and spiders made of black ooze). Punching and clashing sound effects can be heard during the frenetic combat, and creatures sometimes explode into bright, fiery bursts when defeated. The Wild Things are generally friendly, but if provoked they can pick up Max and swallow him whole. One cutscene depicts a Wild Thing vomiting off-screen, then looking at the black liquid on the ground and commenting, "Did I eat that?"
